MINORITY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT PROGRAM

拉斯特学院MBRS项目的总体目标是 鼓励和激励少数族裔学生考虑在 生物医学领域，增加研究生入学人数 学校，并为铁锈学院的教职员工创造机会 参与并提高他们在生物医学领域的研究能力。 为了实现这些目标，我们提出了以下项目： (1)阿拉法特博士指导的浓缩活动方案。本节目 将使学生和教职员工接触到当前的生物医学 通过生物医学系列研讨会、工作坊的研究进展 技术、科学会议和生物医学研究经验 也不在校园外。(2)四个生物医学研究项目 由我们的科学教员(阿拉法特、卡里姆、维克和叶)开发。 建议的研究项目包括： 经前综合征患者的卵巢激素和神经递质， 抗癌抗艾滋病药物的合成及日粮酚类物质的影响 N-亚硝基脯氨酸的形成及膳食胆固醇对其的影响 脂肪酸代谢。这些研究项目将帮助我们的教职员工 增强他们在生物医学领域的研究能力。这个 建议的活动将培养教职员工的自信心 并将改善我们机构的研究和教学。六 教职员工和12名本科生将参加 这个节目。

The overall objectives of the MBRS program at Rust College are to encourage and motivate minority students to consider careers in biomedical fields, to increase the number of students entering graduate schools, and to create opportunities for Rust College faculty members to engage and enhance their research capabilities in the biomedical field. To accomplish these objectives, we are proposing the following projects: (1) Enrichment activities program directed by Dr. Arafat. This program will expose the students and the faculty to the current biomedical research developments through seminar series, workshops on biomedical techniques, scientific meetings, and biomedical research experiences on and off campus. (2) Four biomedical research projects have been developed by out science faculty members (Arafat, Karim, Virk and Yeh). The proposed research projects include: the relationship between the ovarian hormones and the neurotransmitters in premenstrual syndrome, synthesis of anticancer and anti-AIDS agents, effects of dietary phenols on N-Nitrosoproline formation, and effects of dietary cholesterol on fatty acids metabolism. These research projects will help our faculty enhance their research capabilities in the biomedical fields. The proposed activities will develop self confidence in the faculty memnbers and will improve both research and teaching at our institution. Six faculty members and twelve undergraduate students will participate in this program.
